Money Matters at NYSE
It's where the buck rolls. Most of the world's economies are traded here. A soaking wet and very cold day that day, my shoes were soggy and the wind was so strong. I went to this building near the NYSE to seek shelter. The point of view is dramatic, w/ the statue of Mr. Washington? looking on. :)
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), nicknamed the "Big Board", is a New York City-based stock exchange. It is the largest stock exchange in the world by dollar volume and the second largest by number of companies listed. Its share volume was exceeded by that of NASDAQ during the 1990s. The New York Stock Exchange has a global capitalization of $25.0 trillion as of December 31, 2006.
The NYSE is operated by NYSE Euronext, which was formed by its merger with the fully electronic stock exchange Archipelago Holdings and Euronext. The New York Stock Exchange trading floor is located at 11 Wall Street, and is composed of five rooms used for the facilitation of trading. The main building, located at 18 Broad Street between the corners of Wall Street and Exchange Place, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978.

Hi Fred
This posting seem tro have been ignored by the critique writers and that is too bad. Quality point of view and wonderful mood - cold weather for the cold cash that flys around here.
Well Done
Dan
